It was so much fun to get to know these beautiful parents- double-parenthood was obviously well suited for these two. To watch daddy snuggle Elijah and mommy cuddle made my heart skip a beat. Even their adorable watch-dog made her debut! Loving parents, perfect twins, and a blue-eyed Aussie?!… Be still my heart!! This family of 5 is perfection!

Mom and dad decorated Anneliese and Elijah’s nursery beautifully! Plenty of diverse textures, tones, colors and styles made this nursery a true work of art! Pops of bright color and ample natural lighting made for a perfect newborn lifestyle session.  With sentimental items adorning the nursery, with a rocking horse that was this sweet mama’s as a child and the metal train that was this daddy’s, it’s so apparent how thoughtful this mama and daddy are.  And I love my NICU babies, these two have a soft spot of my heart as I worked in the very same NICU they where cared for during their first few months of life. They did so good being 2 months old here in this session and they are all such a sweet sweet miracle. <3

We ended the session outside, nestled under a canopy of low hanging trees, a photo that mommy chose to have as a large canvas in their home. Their first family portrait was seriously perfection. I am so excited to see what the future holds for these four + their sweet doggy. One things certain, Anneliese and Elijah will forever be connected by a bond few could understand, and I for one can’t wait to see where their journeys take them!
